Here's a quick and easy to use guide on how to change text colors while in NWN. Its all on NWNwiki, but might as well put it here as well. It makes telling the difference between text channels really really easy. http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Nwnplayer.ini First you gotta pull on nwnplayer.ini and edit in the following lines under [Game Options] [Chat Colors] TalkColor=240,240,240 ShoutColor=255,239,80 WhisperColor=128,128,128 TellColor=32,255,32 ServerColor=176,176,176 PartyColor=255,102,1 DMColor=16,223,255 Remember how I said first? I lied, thats all you gotta do. You can look at this website for a large number of colors and their codes. And obviously, they are listed as R,G,B http://www.webdiner.com/annexe/hexcode/hexcode.htm For reference, here are my color codes: [Chat Colors] TalkColor=240,240,240 ShoutColor=255,0,255 WhisperColor=0,255,255 TellColor=32,255,32 ServerColor=176,176,176 PartyColor=255,255,0 DMColor=176,176,176 |

I've had this done for a long time, and it's awesome, and everyone should do it. I can't imagine going back to having /party chat the same color as regular chat, or to /whispers being that unreadable dark gray. |

Ugh. I don't want to change them all. Only one or two. I'll do some poking. |

| Post subject: | Re: NWN in game chat color change guide! |
then im pretty sure you only have to enter the lines you want to change. As a default, the color lines arent in NWNplayer.ini If that doesn't work, then just delete the color change section you added and its back to normal. |

Odd, though. I put in 128,0,255 (which should be roughly light purple) for /w and got an orange color. Unpossible! Red and Blue do not make orange D: Is the color system a bit limited/funky? edit: Nevermind... it works fine now? |

Sorry if this sounds a little noobish... How to save the changed .ini file? Both notepad and wordpad simply deny to do so. |

That's.... odd o.O NWN is not running right? |

If it's in Program Files and you're running Vista or you have a limited account on XP, you can run into that issue. |

I think he is mistaking this for changing the text for everyone with text color tags. |

There are other ways it could be "abused" but it's really not anything to be worried about. |

notepad should in theory only deny you to save it if its using the file, so...close nwn first, -then- edit the colours. is what I think you may be doing wrong? if its permissions, heck don't get me started. |

Bumping this because it's super helpful and I just PMed a few people with a link to it since it came up in party chat. Could we get this compiled into some useful tips for people as well? Or just sticky this, perhaps? |

Your colour guide is broken! Though I just googled for a scale and this one worked pretty well for me. http://web.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html |
